The other side of Super Elite

As a Canadian having an Aeroplan card is very much a staple in one's wallet. We have one National airline left which has filed for bankruptcy protection enough times to put an American bank to shame. Air Canada is a little like United (except that it is a very small fleet) known for bitter flight staff and an underwhelming version of business class on domestic flights. As years have worn on, the levels of rewards from their frequent flyers program have been shaved away so it's harder and harder to actually redeem anything. That said there are categories, "Prestige", "Elite" and then there's "Super Elite." To get these you need to fly a lot all in one year. Over the past few years of frequent travel we've mused about what happens to people when they reach Super Elite since you pretty much need about 6 round the world trips. Our curiosity was finally satisfied when a package came in the mail yesterday welcoming Joel to "Super Elite." Aren't you dying to know what this welcome package looks like?
I thought so. For the occasion I had the camera on hand.
